As WWII drew to a close, she met and married George, and they began their loving family. They moved to Kingston in 1957, and in 1958, after making a hundreds of costumes, props and toys for her kids, as well as “chairing” innumerable community committees, she went back to school, to become an Occupational Therapist. Her career took her from Kingston to Toronto to Smith Falls, Halifax and Sydney, Nova Scotia, ending up in Cornerbrook Newfoundland. In 1971, Mary and George bought a small farm in Lyndhurst Ontario, and she finally “retired” there at 72 Years of age. She was a traveler, gardener, seamstress, decorator and, most of all, mentor to her extended family. Mary has asked that no service be held, that instead, those who knew her and loved her honour her memory by perpetuating that love. Internment of ashes is to be determined at a later date. In lieu of flowers, donations to The University Hospitals Kingston Foundation Do not stand at my grave and weep I am not there; I do not sleep. I am a thousand winds that blow, I am the diamond glints on snow, I am the sun on ripened grain, I am the gentle autumn rain. When you awaken in the morning's hush I am the swift uplifting rush Of quiet birds in circling flight. I am the soft starlight at night. Do not stand at my grave and cry, I am not there; I did not die. Mary Frye 1932 The Family wishes to thank the Doctors and Nurses at KGH and the Caregivers at Trillium Centre of Kingston. 11499220
